Immortal Refiner

”What do you want? We may have had our differences, but surely you wouldn’t go so far as to wipe me out completely?”

Facing Li Qing, who had reached the divine transformation realm, the Rakshasa Demon Lord, who had dominated the Great Wilderness Domain for years, felt a profound sense of helplessness.

Li Qing casually waved his hand, and the spirit metal chains binding the purple qilin snapped apart with a crisp crack.

Crack!

”Yoyou~!”

Recognizing Li Qing, the purple qilin stumbled toward him, repeatedly nuzzling its head against his sleeves.

Li Qing gently stroked the qilin’s head and said, ”Some minor disagreements? Fellow Daoist Rakshasa, your memory seems to be failing you. Weren’t you the one backing the Golden Profound Sect in the Azure Ridge Domain back then?”

”If I hadn’t awakened in time, the Lingyun Sect might have faced a catastrophe.”

At these words, the Rakshasa Demon Lord’s expression darkened. He clenched his hand, and a glob of pitch-black, festering blood slowly coalesced in his palm.

Snap!

Without even glancing at him, Li Qing snapped his fingers.

A Great Sun Golden Flame erupted instantly, incinerating the vile blood in his palm and even engulfing half of his hand, reducing it to ashes.

Had the Rakshasa Demon Lord not acted decisively, severing his own wrist, he might have lost his entire arm.

Bang!

Ignoring the excruciating pain, the Rakshasa Demon Lord immediately knelt, pleading in a low, humble voice, ”Spare me this once. I’ll never dare to do this again.”

He didn’t even bother to offer excuses, knowing that before the Supreme of the Mortal Realm, any words would sound hollow and futile. Begging for mercy was his only option.

Li Qing, however, seemed distracted. He began plucking the ginseng whiskers that had been embedded in the purple qilin’s body. Each tug made the creature tremble slightly.

”Ancient Primordial Ginseng whiskers... You truly are a genius! By having these whiskers absorb true qilin blood and then replanting them, you could harvest Qilin Purple Blood Ginseng, each root brimming with the creature’s precious blood!”

”With so many Qilin Purple Blood Ginseng, if they all survive and mature, their value would be world-shattering!”

Even Li Qing felt a flicker of greed. He swiftly gathered all the purple ginseng whiskers soaked in true qilin blood.

”Heh, consider this compensation for saving your little friend here. Since his unfortunate master isn’t around, I might as well take some spoils.” He completely ignored the purple qilin’s tearful gaze.

Remembering that the Rakshasa Demon Lord had bled twice earlier, Li Qing’s eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, he unleashed his divine sense.

Boom!

Li Qing’s powerful divine sense swept through the entire underground palace, quickly locating a hidden corner where a small patch of Qilin Purple Blood Ginseng was growing. Most of the plants had survived, and many had even developed into ginseng-like shapes!

”Excellent, excellent! Who would have thought this demonic path patriarch would be such a diligent Spirit Farmer?” Li Qing’s eyes lit up.

The Rakshasa Demon Lord, his face ashen, trembled slightly but dared not speak, his forehead still pressed firmly against the ground.

Li Qing immediately harvested all the Qilin Purple Blood Ginseng, even taking the entire medicinal field into his Heavenly Wonder Immortal Mansion, leaving no stone unturned.

After securing these precious treasure medicines, Li Qing began considering how to deal with the demonic path ancestor.

Letting him go was out of the question. Li Qing pondered whether to use a secret technique to refine him into a yin corpse puppet, recalling the Three Corpse Nourishing Art he had silently memorized at Heaven’s Guard Temple.

But then, the purple qilin let out a soft cry and began excitedly hopping in place.

”Ah, the main event has arrived,” Li Qing murmured, raising an eyebrow as he sensed movement above the underground palace. He withdrew the heavenly spirit fire that had been enveloping the entire structure.

Wang Chan stormed into the palace, her face grim and murderous. She wielded a bloodstained sword that faintly resonated with the roar of a dragon.

”Old Ghost Rakshasa, I’ve come to claim your dog life!”

Boom!

The aura of a mid nascent soul realm cultivator swept through the palace. After years of absence, this offspring of the Ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty had actually advanced to the mid nascent soul realm!

It was a testament to her Dragon’s Roar Physique. Even born a woman, she still displayed terrifying power.

Wielding the Dragon’s Roar Sword, Wang Chan charged into the palace, following the spirit contract imprint on the purple qilin to pinpoint the side hall.

But when she burst in, she was met with an unexpected sight.

The Old Ghost Rakshasa she loathed with every fiber of her being was kneeling on the ground, his head bowed in submission.

Wang Chan’s lips parted slightly as she stared at the figure before whom the Rakshasa Demon Lord knelt, her eyes wide with disbelief.

”Senior Limitless, what are you doing here?!”

Li Qing smiled. ”Immortal Maiden Wang Chan, congratulations on advancing to the nascent soul realm. But with your current strength, you’re likely no match for the Rakshasa Demon Lord, are you? Why didn’t you come to the Lingyun Sect and ask for my help?”

”We’ve known each other for some time, so I wouldn’t have hesitated to assist you. Besides, I have an irreconcilable feud with this old ghost.”

Wang Chan finally caught her breath and said, ”Several years ago, this old ghost severely injured me. If not for Purple Scale’s desperate defense, I might not have survived.”

”After recovering, I went to the Lingyun Sect for help, but Senior Limitless had already left on his travels.”

”The highest cultivation among your sect’s ancestors is only the mid nascent soul realm. Even combined, they likely couldn’t defeat this old ghost.”

”Left with no other choice, I sacrificed a portion of my lifespan to forcibly activate my Dragon’s Roar Physique, pushing my cultivation to the mid nascent soul realm to come here.”

”Senior, please allow me to personally slay this demon lord!”

Hearing this, Li Qing was momentarily stunned, not expecting such a turn of events.

”As you wish!”

With a snap of his fingers, Li Qing completely suppressed the Rakshasa Demon Lord’s mana, leaving him at Wang Chan’s mercy.

”No!”

In the next instant, Wang Chan raised her sword and struck. The sect leader of the Blood Spirit Sect, who had dominated the Great Wilderness Domain for countless years, met an untimely end, unable even to escape with his nascent soul.

”Senior Limitless, thank you for saving Purple Scale!” Wang Chan said, her voice tinged with sorrow. ”I can never repay this great kindness. I offer Purple Scale to you as a token of my gratitude.”

Her lifespan was dwindling. She had been refining her fleshly body with the purple qilin’s true blood to alleviate the strain the Dragon’s Roar Physique placed on her body, which had improved her condition considerably.

However, to break through to the mid nascent soul realm and seek revenge against the Rakshasa Demon Lord, she had forcibly activated her physique again, rendering years of painstaking effort futile.

The Rakshasa Demon Lord had drained Purple Scale of its true blood multiple times, damaging its origin. The qilin had regressed from the fourth-tier transformation stage back to the third-tier. Even if it could still yield blood, it would be of no use to a nascent soul realm Dragon’s Roar Physique.

”Yoyou~!” Purple Scale whined mournfully at these words, nuzzling Li Qing repeatedly. It even knelt on its forelegs, mimicking human gestures, as if begging Li Qing for help.

Li Qing sighed. ”Let me examine you,” he said. ”Perhaps there’s still a chance.”
